SHODAN LIVES
Notes and links from @colemanm.
This Tract is a tool created by Michal Migurski to display US Census demographics in your current location by using geolocation support built in to modern browsers. Using geofencing techniques, it’ll show you data about each level of “subdivision” you’re in: census tract, county, state, etc.
He uses a neat combination of Census data, Yahoo’s YQL, Modest Maps, and OpenStreetMap to mash together the results.
Another great example of using cutting-edge mapping tech to make public domain data actually accessible the general public.
Wu-Tang Clan x Javelin - C.R.E.A.M. Theme (Hood Internet!)
Hood Internet - The XX Gonna Give it to Ya (DMX vs. The xx)
DMX makes me laugh — this track is great.
The Kleptones - Hella Touch
Good mix… EK is still the best of the mashup DJs.
Grizzly Bear - Knife (Girl Talk Remix)
Mashing GB and Clipse.
I bet you’ve never heard Ocarina of Time mashed with Mike Jones.
From The Ocarina of Rhyme by Team Teamwork. Other hot tracks include Jay-Z’s “No Hook” combined with “Meeting the Owl,” and Aesop Rock’s “No Jumpercables” mixed with “Goron Village.”
I think in 5 years everything will be some kind of mashup of older products. It started in the 80s with the hip-hop sampling of Grandmaster Flash and Sugarhill. In the 90s many hip-hop artists sampled classic hip-hop tracks which themselves included samples, notably Diddy. Now we’ve got dudes Girl Talk and Kid Cudi about 3 or 4 layers deep in sampling (I don’t think what they do is really “sampling,” though).
Girl Talk at Club Firestone.
Gregg Gillis knows how to get a party live.
Earth Surfer uses the Wii balance board and the Google Earth API to allow you to “surf” over the earth’s surface.
Google is producing a map showing results from the New Hampshire primary with their “My Maps” feature. They’ve already done one for the Iowa Caucus.
